Who is your favorite Colt of all-time?

[Mooche]

Thought this would be cool discussion among the fans.

So, who is your favorite player who has played for the Colts, and why?

I'll throw my pick later in the thread.

Easy answer. It is a guy that many of you might remember.. a guy named Peyton Manning.

He essentially made the Colts who they are, their identity. Peyton is the Colts' logo as Jerry West is the nba's logo. I don't think any other Colt had more impact on nfl and football as a whole than Peyton. The great Johnny U is close, but I don't think anyone here have seen him play in his prime in 1960s (if you have, tell me about it!!). What we have is what people said of him decades back. I think Peyton had more impact for Colts than the late Johnny U simply due to the live tv era. I hope I'm not biased on this since Peyton Manning was, is, and always will be my favorite overall player in NFL.

Johnny U was the pioneer, but Peyton took it to the next level. Manning Manning Manning.

I'll go one further and name top 5+:
1) Peyton Manning
2) Dallas Clark
3) Jeff Herrod
4) Dwight Freeney
5) Gary Brackett

HM: Marvin Harrison, Bob Sanders, Marshall Faulk

and Reggie Wayne (I said it before and I'll say it again, his decision to come back this year along with deciding not to train in Miami like previous seasons and the leadership position he assumed won great respect and admiration from me)

I started football watching the Colts and seeing this QB slinging it around his rookie year. It still took me a couple years after to really care about football since I grew up a basketball maniac but it was always this guy that got me.

1. Peyton Manning
2. Reggie Wayne
3. Dallas Clark
4. Joseph Addai
5. Gary Brackett

HM: Jeff Saturday, Mike Vanderjagt, Antoine Bethea

My favorite Colt of all-time is Bob Sanders. Watching him play at Iowa, it was just madness how he would smash the opposition and cause problems for the offense all over the field. I made a promise that I would become a fan of the team that selected the former Hawkeye. A hard hitting safety, an amazing signal caller, and an outstanding wide receiver were enough to get me to officially board the ship of the Indianapolis Colts.

I don't think I've enjoyed football more than that 06 Super Bowl run. Bob was instrumental with his return to the line-up in slowing down the Chiefs, Ravens, Patriots and finally Bears. I vividly remember the Colts being embarrassed on the ground by the Jags with the two-headed monster of MJD and Fred Taylor late in the season. Sanders was the guy who rekindled the fire in that defense and led the way through the post-season to capture that Lombardi trophy.

It was so painful to see him go down with so many injuries, but with the reckless play-style he brought to the table, it wasn't all that surprising. Regardless, he is the reason I became a fan of the Colts, and is one of my favorite football players, period.

HM - Manning, Harrison, Wayne, Freeney and Bethea.

You guys seriously need to learn more than like 15 years of Colts history. I'm not even a fan of the Colts and Johnny Unitas would have to be my favorite. Unitas is what put Football on the map in the 50s.

My favorite right now is TY. I think because its fun to yell TY after a big catch or TD

My top 5:

Peyton Manning = This is a must. He did so much for our organization
Jim Harbaugh = I will never forget that BS loss to Pittsburg in the playoffs
Marvin Harrison = It was fun watching him out preform the loud mouth WRs around the league
Eric Dickerson = One of my all time favorite backs
Dwight Freeney = Freeney as a DE not as an OLB

HM:

Edge
Marshall Faulk
Quentin Coryatt
